Although incomplete, the fossil record holds are remarkable number of specimens, including "missing links", that show evolution at work. Studying the bones of vertibrates, paleontologists see a clear branching out of anatomical features from common ancestors. There is no exception for the human line, whose ancestry includes fossils of Ardipithecus, Homo Habilis, Homo Erectus, and Neanderthal.
